“The Finger of Justice” Opens Two-Day
Engagement at Rialto Theater Today
“The Finger of Justic," th»e sensa
tional picture that raised a furore in
New York and other cities, will open a
two-day engagement at the Rialto the
atre at 10 a. m. today. It is doubtful
whether any production ever shown
in Augusta has aroused as much in
terest and curiosity as this unusual
photoplay. The fact thafchildren un
der IS years of age will not be permit
ted to see the picture has caused no
end of favorable comment, as many
parents feared that yougsters might
be admitted and “The Finger of Jus.
ti o" positively is not a production for
children.
The story is based on the crusade
of Rev. Paul Smith to clean up the no
torious Farbary coast of San Francis
co. It was suggested when 400 scarlet
women, who had been driven from the
’Frisco tenderloin, called on the min
ister in a asked him what
he proposed with thK?m. The
same quest r. has confronted the re
formers of ]t ictirully every city where
the “re-trf.ed district” has been
closed. It i a mighty problem when
one- stops to consider it, for what is
really done to help the women who
are forced onto the streets?
Crane Wilbur, who is well known to
Augusta motion picture fans, takes the
part of Nci?l Delaney, the fighting par
son. A synopsis of the story follows:
William Randall, political boss, holds
the city in his grip. Huge profits have
come to Randall through unrestricted
vice, on which he exacts heavy toll.
Noel Delaney, a minister, learns that
the sweetheart of his college days, who
has disappeared, has fallen tinder the
Good Linirrent for Lameness.
"I have found Chamberlain's Liniment
a splendid remedy for lameness, soreness
ot the muscles and rheumatic pains,”
writes ICrs. J. W. Wallace. Mac<yi, Mo.
Mrs. Wallace says further that ‘‘it is the
best linim* nt we have ever had in the
house.”—Adv.

evil grip. Delaney, known as the
fighting parson,” wages war against
the “system" that takes its toll in
virtue and in life.
From his pulpit, Delaney opens Ills
campaign. His scathing sermon strikes
terror to the hearts of Randall and
his coterie. Efforts are made to com
promise Delaney, but steadfastly he
fights on. At the bidding of their over
lords, hundreds of scarlet women
storm Delaney's church. With Yvonne
as their spokeswoman, they demand
to know what provision Delaney lias
made for them. Are they to be turned
adrift—to be further buffeted—to be
driven deeper down into the black
mire of vice and degeneracy?
Mary, among the Magdalena at the
church, decides to aid the pastor in his
fight. She is taken into the home of
one of the pastor's workers.
The fight goes on. The "system”
whines and trembles in the light of
pitiless publicity, but Flip, the un
speakable, continues to ply his foul
trade. He picks acquaintance with
Hetty, Randalls daughter—the one
clean thing in Randall's life. She has
been carefully shialded fnorn all knowl
edge of the Web.
Flip, not knowing who she is, plays
upon her desire to go on the stage. Ho
takes her to the Web. Mary, seeing
her enter its doors, Knows the awful
fate awaiting her. She enlists Noel's
aid. The fighting parson fearlessly en
ters the dive.
Hetty, struggling with Flip, escapes
half clad and is pursued. Screaming,
she runs across the case floor. Flip is
at her heels. She falls unconscious In
the pastor's arms, as Randall recog
nizes the terror-stricken girl as his
own daughter. With inconsistent
wrath, the "boss" strikes Flip to the
floor. The latter, wild with drink,
draws his gun and fies.

Meanwhile, Mary is redeemed. Noel's

PROTOCOL TO PEACE
TREATY HADE PUBLIC
Paris—A protocol to bo added to tko
peace treaty, explanatory of the six
points by the Germans, reads:
"Firstly, a commission will be named
by the allied and associated govern
ments to supervise the demolition of tin?
fortifications of Helgoland in conform
ity with the treaty. This commission
will be empowered to decide what part
of the constructions preventing the
coast from Krosion should be preserved,
and what part demolished.
‘‘Secondly, the sums which Germany
will have to refund to Us citi/.ens to in
demnify them for interests they mav he
found to have in the railroads and mines,
referred to in paragraph two, article 156,
shall be placed to the credit of Germany
on account of the sums due for repara
tion.”
tThe protocol refers to German private
interests in railroads and mines in
Shantung us distinct from German state
Interests.)
"Thirdly, a list of the persons whom,
according to article 228. paragraph two,
Germany must surrender to the powers
will be sent to the German government
during the month following the putting
into force of the treaty.
"Fourthly, the commission on repara
tions, provided by article 240 and para
graphs two, three and four, of annex
four, cannot exact divulgence of sec
rets of manufacture or confidential in
formation.
"Fifthly, from the signature of peace
and in the fourth months following, Ger
many will have an opportunity of pre
senting for the examination of * the pow
ers documents and propositions, with a
view to hastening the work relating to
reparations, thus shortening the investi
gation and hastening decisions
"Sixthly, prosecutions will be exercis
ed against those committing criminal
acts in connection with the liquidation of
German property, and the powers will re
ceive any information and proofs that
the German government shall be in a
position to supply on tills subject."
In the allied reply to the Germans on
the six other points raised by them,
the most interesting question to be dealt
with concerns Germany’s admission to
the league of nations. The reply denies
the German declaration that tin* terms of
the treaty with regard to the league are
contradictory, saying the paragraphs
mentioned by the Germans .are compli
mentary.
It eavs the covenant of the league of
nations declares that members of the
league shall take the necessary steps
to assure and guarantee the mainten
ance of liberty of communication and
transit and also equal commercial treat
ment of all members.
"Germany when admitted to the soci
ety," the reply say*, "will share in the
benefits of these stipulations with other
countries. Nevertheless, during the per
iod of transition following peace, it is
necessary to take in account the special
conditions which are laid down on page
42 or the memorandum. The obligations
imposed on Germany are therein m own
to have the character of reparations
measures, and their maintenance for
five years, far from being incompatible
with the principle of equitable treatment,
have as their object to assure the appli
cation of that principle. **

BY CHIEF TAHAN,
Of the Kiowa Indian Tribe.
Now, let me think. For I was going
to tell you boys one of the stories that
the old folks used to tell Indian chil
dren. Ob, yes; now I remember.
It is the story of what makes the
storm stop.
Rut first come outside and sit down
on the grass where we can see the
growing things. Now', then, here Is
this little worm the measuring worm.
Take a good look at him.
Notice that he is not half as long
as your little fingers sometimes 4io
is longer; and see, he has red and
yellow stripes on his green body.
Notice, too, how he curves his nack
upward when he walks. Now. t)*i*
measuring worm eats the colors out
of the grass and flowers, so we say,
and the colors come out on his body
and make him beautiful. Rut when lie
takes the colors out of the flowers,
they wither and die.
Well, the Rainbow is a big measuring
worm. / For does lie not bow his back
upward like that worm, and are not his
colors like the colors of the flowers?
The rainbow is; the chief of all of the
measuring worms.
There comes the time when the
thunderbird and the rattlesnake have
a fight up in the above (which as I
told you in the last story, makes the
storms and rain.)

and all at once he bows bis back,
walks up onto the cloud, and makes
quit. So he makes the storm stop.

goes, a boy was lost in a storm on
the desert.
"Why are you crying, my grand
child?'' a voice said.
"1 am lost,’’ replied the boy. Pretty
soon la* say the rainbow and he knew
that it was the rainbow that had
spoken to him.
"Du not cry.” said the rainbow “for
1 will help you."
Then thie rainbow unbent his back,
stooped low, aml wrapped his beauti
ful robe around the boy.
“M.\ footsteps are sometimes many,
many, days apart and I know the way,”
said the rainbow As he arched his
back high on the cloud and carried the
boy along as a sunbeam carries *
sptvck of dust. Then he unbent,
straightened out, sped away like nil
arrow. Across the silent spaces of
the desert he went, until his shadow
fell on a shining lake. It was the Luke
of the Smile of the Good Spirit. On
five shore of the lake was the boy's
borne, and there lie- gave him to his
futher and mother.
“Farewell," whispered the rainbow,
“I hear the wings of the thunderbird.
I must go and say to him be still.” So
he did, and so it was.
